Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo – Week 26 AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop

Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo – Week 26 AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop

Welcome to week 26 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Melon Mambo, a vibrant pink from the Brights colour collection.

Inspired by the colour combination I loved on some now retired Designer Series Paper, this week I’ve paired Melon Mambo with Blushing Bride, Night of Navy and Basic White.

The Night of Navy Cardstock layer really makes the white and both the pinks pop, and using the Pierced Blooms dies makes for a very quick and easy card. I love making this type of card – it’s sort of like creating a 3D DSP!

The only stamping on my card is the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set – I chose this sentiment because it fitted perfectly into the the sentiment die cut from the Pierced Blooms dies.

Did you notice the white dot embellishments in the centre of the flowers? These are a new product coming in the January–June 2022 Mini Catalogue.

Classic Matte Dots are Adhesive-backed enamel dots with a matte finish that come in four colours: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Very Vanilla and Basic White, which is the colour I’ve used on my card today.

The beauty of this design is that it can be made in any colour combination and for any occasion, depending on the sentiment you use.

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan – I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

Stampin’ Up! Mango Melody – Week 25 AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop

Stampin’ Up! Mango Melody – Week 25 AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop

Welcome to week 25 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Mango Melody, a vibrant orange from the Brights colour collection.

Although the dominant colour on my card is Mango Melody, as they say on Sesame Street, “This card is brought to you by the Adhesive Sheets and the Artistic Dies”!

The adhesive sheets and the large leaf die from the Artistic Dies do all the hard work on this thank you card that I have deliberately left unembellished so it can be used for both masculine and feminine occasions. The “Thanks” sentiment is from the Artistically Inked stamp set that you can buy in a bundle with the Artistic dies.

By adding an adhesive sheet to my Basic White card stock BEFORE die cutting the large leaf die several times, I’ve turned this die cut into a sticker. This makes it super easy to chop these branches up and adhere and easily reposition the leaves to the Mango Melody cardstock layer. There’s no fiddly glueing or worrying about glue showing on the cardstock.

Here’s another photo of my Mango Melody card, showing how this colour can either yellowy orange or a darker orange from different angles or in different lights.

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!
